You're right, the index format was the (one) thing you were looking
for, but I included the rest of those options because I find them
useful and, somewhat, related (and someone may not have been aware of
those capabilities).

You're welcome. Actually, now that I think of it, someone posted an
index format a while back that shows either the length of the message
_or_ the number of messages in the thread if the thread is collapsed.
That would use less screen real estate than my (current) format that
shows the length of the first message _and_ the thread length if it is
collapsed. I've been meaning to copy it so I can have longer subject
lines, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
